Madelyn Blair founded Pelerei, Inc. in 1988 to provide innovative management solutions to help organizations transform themselves. We’re dedicated to creating an environment of learning and encouragement, building on the strengths of our clients.

We are proud to announce our latest product Riding the Current: How to Deal with the Daily Deluge of Data by Madelyn Blair.

Today, everyone has to know what is going on. But with the increased flow of information coming at you, it is easy to get sucked under. Consider these stats: 2 million emails are sent every second; 300,000 new publications come out every year; and 2.5 million text messages are delivered daily. Add in the Web sites, social-networking options, blogs and books available to you and you have a certified ticket to information overload.

Madelyn has solutions for people who feel as though they are drinking from an information fire hose instead of a manageable water fountain.

Here’s what some have said about the book:

“Among all the knowledge management books one is unlikely to find such practical wisdom based on hands on experience, written for audiences of all ages and at all stages of life--the art of self improvement turned into practical science. Congratulations!” – Uma Lele, Senior Advisor, World Bank Independent Evaluation Department. “This book is a must-read for anyone who takes his or her self-development seriously. Riding the Current lays out technique after technique for staying abreast of everything that is relevant, navigating the overwhelming sea of knowledge, and using it all to your advantage.” – Seth Kahan, VisionaryLeadership.com, author of Fast Co's expert blog, Leading Change "A fresh take on personal knowledge management. Madelyn Blair leads us on a fascinating journey with many unexpected twists and turns. Along the way, we get a multitude of tools, techniques and insights to help keep our knowledge fresh." – Steve Denning, author of The Leader's Guide to Storytelling and The Secret of Language of Leadership. “Learning something new is the ultimate magic experience.  How learning becomes knowledge, both personal and organizational has been studied, dissected and debated for many years.  Madelyn Blair has crafted a book that unlocks the magic for individuals and organizations wishing to increase their ability to find knowledge in the sea of information we are bombarded with daily.  Madelyn is first and foremost a master story crafter.  Her unique ability to move through the English language with selective precision allows her to explain learning with the clarity one only finds on a spring day after an early morning rain storm.  By illustrating her thoughts with rich personal anecdotes and stories, she creates a template for learning that any organization or individual can rapidly apply to their own environment with maximum impact.  This book is truly a must read for ‘Seekers of new knowledge’ and those wishing to keep their knowledge fresh and relevant.” -Peter J.Engstrom, Board Chairman, At Home Chesapeake, and former Chief Knowledge Officer for Federal Business, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC).

Riding the Current explains:
The difference between staying fresh and current and why staying current is impossible.
Why we are more connected but feel a sense of loss from what is passing us by.
Why you don’t have to read to learn but trash reading is an important skill to master.
Steps for setting limits on what technology has wrought.
